The hosts, Kathy Lee & Hoda, immediately replied "But we love Lil Mama," to which Alicia Keys simply said "That’s nice!" Later in the interview, Keys couldn't avoid it any more and finally stated how she feels about the whole situation. "We can appreciate her being overwhelmed and inspired but we would’ve preferred she did it from her seat." Alicia went on to finish by stating "Jay-Z and I are both native New Yorkers. It’s kind of a classic New York song almost like new Frank Sinatra, Liza Minelli, I don’t know. Just a beautiful New York record, I love it." [Alicia Keys Speaks On Lil Mama – Watch Here]
